Hey guys! This chapter is short but gives important information. Also has a little romance at the end. I think I might make them go to the gates before the fear landscape. What do you think?

I don't own Divergent. I only own my charming characters!

Chapter 20

"I'm serious with you right now, I would take 1,000 more knockouts than this fear thing!" I yelled in frustration. Nate and I were walking down the tracks.

"Why?" he asked. I looked up at him and stared at him like he was crazy.

"Excuse me? Did you just ask why?" I yelled. He nodded. "You wanna know why? Because yesterday I had a bunch of bugs crawling all over me and this morning I was stuck in a tiny box that I couldn't breathe in!" I sighed frustrated. He stopped and grabbed my arm.

"It will be over soon. Trust me. Then we do the mental stage and then we are Dauntless." he smiled.

"That easy, huh?" I laughed and he nodded. "I just realized I just told you two of my fears."

"Is that so bad?" he asked and I nodded. "Why?"

"I just, uh, I guess I… I want you to think I'm strong and fearless." I stumbled over my words. He smiled down at me.

"As I told you before, I already think you are strong. And for the other thing. I don't think anyone can be fearless." he sighed. Where does this kid get all his wisdom? "So, bugs and small spaces."

"Hey. Don't tease." I laughed. He smiled. He raised an eyebrow.

"Any other fears I should know about?" he asked. I shook my head and he pouted. "Come on, Emmy! I just wanna know. I won't tell anyone!"

"Fine. But only a couple. You already know about judgement, self harm, small spaces, and bugs. Umm… Oh I got one! My dad always told me that I was scared of disapproval. Oh, and hurting someone I love. And… birds." I mumbled the last part. Nate's eyebrows scrunched together.

"Huh?" he asked clearly confused. I sighed.

"I'm scared of birds, okay!" I yelled. He smirked but didn't laugh.

"Eh, why not?" he smiled. I laughed and he slung his arm around my shoulder.

"So what about you?" I asked. He hesitated rubbing the back of his neck. I raised my eyebrows at him and waited.

"Uh, I… I'm scared of heights and seeing people I love in pain. I can't stand it. I'm also afraid of fear itself. I hate the helpless, worthless feeling that you get." he sighed. I didn't know what to say so I just grabbed his hand. "Let's get back. There is work to be done."

When we got back, I was extremely tired. I could barely walk. I tripped once and Nate picked me up. I nuzzled my head in his neck and dozed off.

"What's up, guys?" I heard Kaylee yell.

"Would you shut up? She is sleeping!" Nate hissed. I tried to keep myself from smiling.

"Awww! You guys are sooo cute!" Kaylee whispered. I could almost feel Nate rolling his eyes.

"What do you want, Kaylee?" he sighed.

"I wanted to see if Emma wanted to get her ears pierced." Kaylee laughed.

"Well, as you can tell, she is sleeping." Nate snapped. Why is he so mad?

"Yep. In your arms." Kaylee laughed. Suddenly I was being lowered and laid on a bed. I felt something cover me. "You really like her, don't you?"

"Goodnight, Kaylee." Nate sighed.

"Nate…" Kaylee whined. Nobody said anything after that and I fell back asleep.
